Melwood Car Donation

When members of a community work together, it improves the lives of many. Lending a hand in your community does not have to cost you any money – in fact, participating in the Melwood car donation program may provide you with a tax break while getting an unwanted vehicle off your hands. This is an opportunity where everyone wins, especially the 2,100 individuals with disabilities who are currently being assisted.

Your donation to the Melwood program will help this non-profit organization continue programs such as job training, employment, housing, recreation, and life skills. In addition, proceeds from the program help fund a summer camp for children, adult community-based programs, and even a year-round equestrian program that serves individuals with and without disabilities.

Melwood operates in the Washington, DC area but accepts car donations from all over the United States. You can visit the website to see if pick ups are available in your area.

The donation process is quick and simple. The hours of operation are Monday through Thursday 8am to 8pm EST, Friday 8am to7am, and Saturday 9am to 7pm. The offices are closed on Sunday. You can fill out the online car donation form or call the office and speak with a representative at 1-877-MELWOOD (877-635-9663).

Once your form is submitted representatives will make arrangements for free towing of your vehicle. You will receive a “Non-Cash Charitable Contributions” form in the mail in about six weeks.

While the community is making great strides in helping physically challenged children and adults, funding is still needed to continue these efforts. Even if you do not own a car, donations of trucks, boats, or even small aircrafts are accepted. The Melwood car donation program makes it easy to get rid of an unwanted vehicle while helping others.

Experience the joy of helping a community and take advantage of tax benefits when you contribute to a great cause.
